Block Patterns – Copy to Clipboard Button

Hi support,

After following a tutorial to create a copy to clipboard button so people can copy block patterns to their clipboard, I’ve ended up, instead, with a mental block.

I’m following this tutorial by Sridhar Katakam – https://brickslabs.com/copy-to-clipboard-button-for-sharing-your-bricks-designs/ – and adapting it to GenerateBlocks/GeneratePress.

The part I’m struggling to figure out is the last part in the tutorial.

It’s where the data attribute’s value Gets the ACF text value. The ACF text field has been created, and Sridhar’s bricks_code has been replaced with another field name.

Then the script with the bl_get_cf() function and data-code attribute value – {echo:bl_get_cf()} – has been added.

This doesn’t seem to Get the text entered into the post_meta’s custom text field. Instead, it simply copies the value of the data attribute to the clipboard.

Is something wrong being done here or is their something you can see that’s missing?

The goal would be to copy the block pattern JSON entered into an ACF custom text field to the clipboard.

Thank you for any insight, and best regards,

Paul
